That Is Where President Cleveland Is
Coming Early in the Approach
ing Fall Months.
He Will Include ST. Paul and Other
Cities Of the Mighty Northwest
in His Visit.
The "Trip Projected Partly as One Of
Pleasure, and Partly For Po-
Itical Purposes.
The President Will Pay ALI the Expenses
and Accept No Favors From
the Corporations.


which the president recently made to
the st. Louis delegation, that he would,
| if he could, visit their city next fall will
be kept and that the visit to that city
will only be a comparatively small feat
ure of great and extensive trip which
| he has been planning, and the arrange
mentS for which will be consummated
ON his return to the White house. The
| president has seen but little of the
| United States. He has, during his life
| time, Travelled but little outside of the
state of New York. He has never been
| in the West at all, but he has made up
his mind of late that it will be to his per-
SOnal and political advantage to make
an elaborate journey this year. His
wife has persuaded him to do so as a
matter of pleasure, and several Demo-
cratic politicians, chief among whom is
Postmaster General Villas, have urged
him to do SO as matter of practical pol
itics. They have told him that the
Democrats of the West and Northwest
are anxious to see him, and that his
presence i'll some of the states may have
AN ENCOURAGING EFFECT
On the party organization. A cabinet
officer remarked to him before his de-
parture to the Adirondacks that in a
year of peace and prosperity like this
he could make such tour as Monroe
made in 1918, and the remark had a
pleasing effect On the presidents mind.
1t was on the contemplation of such
trip as this that Mr.. Cleveland made his
promise to the ST. Louis delegation. The
fact is that he intends to go deal
further in the direction of the setting
sun than st. Louis. If the president
makes his arrangements he will leave
this city in the first week in August and
will probably remain away till the !st
of October. He will travel in special
mediate household and two or three
cabinet officers. The intention is to go
clear across the continent to the Pacific
coast. The principal cities on the line
of the route will be visited in Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota.
Postmaster General Villas is particularly
anxious that he should make a good i'm
preston in those states in time for the
fall elections. The president is curious
to explore the territories along the lines
of the Northern Pacific railroad, and it
is now ON his plan to go as far as Port
land, Or. Indeed, it is said that he
would very much like to so up the Pa
cific ocean
AS FAR AS ALASKA,
although he has been told that this
would be construed as violation of the
precedent which permits no president
to go outside Of the country during his
term of office. Whether trip on the
ocean from one part of the country to
another would really be such violation
is point which the president has not
yet made up his mind to cOncede. 1t he
does concede this, however, it is proba-
BILE that Mrs. Cleveland will make the
trip, while the president, with Daniel
Lamont, spends ten days in camping
out in the Yellowstone region. 1t is
probable that in going and coming on
this long journey the president and his
party will visit Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Chicago. Milwaukee, st. Paul, possibly
Portland and San Francisco, Omaha,
st. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati and
other important cities, in order that he
may come in contact with the people,
and especially with the working politi-
clans. Postmaster General Villas, who is,
perhaps, the most ardent and industrious
SecOnd-termer in the administration,
will, when the proper time comes, leave
nothing undone to work up the journey
Tor all it is worth as swing around the
political circle. The Democratic poll
ticians in the various states through
which the presidential party will pass
will be instructed to stir up the popular
enthusiasm, i'll order to bring about
good effect on the autumn elections.
The president is determined that this
journey shall be made entirely
At HIS Personal. EXPENSE.
He:doeS,not intend to accept any favOrS,
but will pay for everything he gets in
the way of transportation and personal
service. The trip will cost him not less
than s., 500 for the sixty days over which
it will extend. A leading member of the
administration said that the president is
anxious to know more about his country
than he does, and that he often finds his
imperfect knowledge in this respect
source of embarrassment. He has
also been moved to make the journey in
order to crafty his wife's love of travel.
He fears, however, that the South will
be jealous of the fact that Democratic
president has gone into the West in
stead of spending more of his time in
Southern states.
THE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
SARANAC INN, n. Y, June 2.-The
anniversary of the wedding day of Mr..
and Mrs. Cleveland's wedding was cele-
brated to-day. There was not a breath
of air stirring. There was promise of
a fair and very warm day, but at 8
O'Clock, when the cottage party came
over to the hotel to breakfast, breeze
had sprung up from the west, and the
white caps were running across the bay
just off Prospect point. When Mrs.
Cleveland sat down to breakfast she
found little cluster of four-leaved
clovers at her place. She and
the president were heartily con-
graduated on the anniversary, and
were wished all manner of
happiness and good luck. At 10 o'clock,
after smearing their faces literally with
fly ointment, the president, Mrs. Cleve-
land and Dave Cronk went off in one
boat, Col. and Mrs. Lamont and Nc
Caffery in another and DR.. and Mrs.
RoSman in a third to spend the day at
Hollis Pond, about three miles distant.
Mrs. Cleveland caught five fish and the
president none.
TO CALI. ON GOV. HILL.
ALBANY, n. Y, June 2.-President
Cleveland and his wife, it is
now definitely known, will be
the guests of Gov. Hill at the
new executive mansion upon their re-
turn from the Adirondack wilderness.
1t is thought that the president will
arrive here from the North. Saturday,
June IL. He will remain for several
DAYS and will visit the friends he made
here while governor of the state.
Col. and Mrs. Lamont will accompany
him to this city, but will then, it is said,
depart for Cortland, n. Y, their former
home, where they will remain for few
days. In anticipation of the coming of
the president, force of fifty men was
put at work in the executive mansion
yesterday, to prepare it for occupation.
The carpet men were putting down
